No.16/063,542 filed on Jun. 18, 2018, which is a National Stage applicationunder 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No.PCT/GB2016/053968, filed Dec. 16, 2016, which claims the benefit ofpriority to GB 1613945.3, filed Aug. 15, 2016 and GB 1522245.8, filedDec. 16, 2015.

This invention relates to compounds. More specifically, the inventionrelates to compounds useful as kinase inhibitors, along with processesto prepare the compounds and uses of the compounds. Specifically, theinvention relates to inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK).

BACKGROUND

Kinases are a class of enzyme that control the transfer of phosphategroups from phosphate donor groups, for example ATP, to specificsubstrates. Protein kinases are a large subset of kinases that play acentral role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular signallingand processes and BTK is one such protein kinase.

BTK is a member of the src-related Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosinekinases. BTK plays a key role in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signallingpathway of B-cells, which is required for the development, activationand survival of B-cells. BTK inhibitors have therefore been developedwith the aim of treating B-cell malignancies that are dependent on BCRsignalling, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin'slymphoma (NHL) (Buggy 2012). BTK is also expressed in specific myeloidcells including, monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils and mast cells. Inthese myeloid cells, BTK has been indicated in the immune complexmediated activation of FcγR and FcεR, which is believed to contribute tothe pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (Whang 2014). In addition,BTK is required for the maturation of osteoclast cells and so inhibitingBTK could prevent the bone erosion that is associated with RA. Thecritical role of BTK in both B-cells and myeloid cells has led to BTKbecoming an attractive target for the treatment of not only B-cellmalignancies but also for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Ibrutinib is an irreversible BTK inhibitor that has been approved forthe treatment of CLL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Waldenstrom'smacroglobulinemia (WM). Since Ibrutinib was first disclosed there havebeen a number of patent applications concerned with structures closelyrelated to Ibrutinib, for example see WO 2012/158843, WO 2012/158764, WO2011/153514, WO 2011/046964, US 2010/0254905, US 2010/0144705, U.S. Pat.No. 7,718,662, WO, 2008/054827 and WO 2008/121742.

Further Btk inhibitors are disclosed in WO 2013/010136, U.S. Pat. No.9,090,621, WO 2015/127310, WO 2015/095099 and US 2014/221333. Kinaseinhibitors are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,660,744, US2002/0156081, US 2003/0225098 and WO 01/19829.

Ibrutinib also irreversibly binds to interleukin-2 inducible tyrosinekinase (ITK) (Dubovsky 2013). ITK plays a critical role inFcR-stimulated natural killer (NK) cell function that is required forantibody dependent NK cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). ADCC is themechanism that anti-CD20 antibodies, such as rituximab are believed toactivate and ibrutinib has been shown to antagonise this mechanism invitro (Kohrt 2014). As rituximab-combination chemotherapy is today'sstandard of care in B-cell malignancies, it would be desirable to have aBTK inhibitor with high selectivity for BTK over ITK.

In the clinic, adverse events have included atrial fibrillation,diarrhea, rash, arthralgia and bleeding (IMBRUVICA package insert 2014).Known BTK inhibitors, e.g. ibrutinib are also known to havegastrointestinal side effects, which are considered to be as a result ofa secondary EGFR inhibitory activity. It is therefore desirable to havea BTK inhibitor with high BTK inhibition and low EGFR inhibition toreduce or avoid the gastrointestinal side effects.

Irreversible and covalent reversible BTK inhibitors specifically targeta cysteine residue C481 within BTK. Following treatment with ibrutinib,cases of primary and secondary resistance have emerged. Mutations withinBTK such as C481S, C481Y, C481R, C481F have been reported in theliterature and clearly interfere with drug binding (Woyach 2014;Maddocks 2015). It has been predicted that the incidence of observedresistance will increase as clinical use outside clinical trials expandsover time (Zhang 2015).

Therefore, an aim of the present invention is to provide BTK inhibitorswith a different binding mode more specifically reversible inhibitors.In addition, the invention aims to provide BTK inhibitors with highselectivity for BTK inhibition over EGFR and ITK inhibition.

Furthermore, it is an aim of certain embodiments of this invention toprovide new cancer treatments. In particular, it is an aim of certainembodiments of this invention to provide compounds which have comparableactivity to existing cancer treatments but are also effective againstmutations. One of the aspects of the invention focus on providing BTKinhibitors effective against the C481 mutations.

It is an aim of certain embodiments of this invention to providecompounds which exhibit reduced cytotoxicity relative to prior artcompounds and existing therapies.

Another aim of certain embodiments of this invention is to providecompounds having a convenient pharmacokinetic profile and a suitableduration of action following dosing. A further aim of certainembodiments of this invention is to provide compounds in which themetabolised fragment or fragments of the drug after absorption are GRAS(Generally Regarded As Safe).

Certain embodiments of the present invention satisfy some or all of theabove aims.

” represents that the bond is connected to another atom that is notshown in the structure. A bond terminating inside a cyclic structure andnot terminating at an atom of the ring structure represents that thebond may be connected to any of the atoms in the ring structure whereallowed by valency.

Where a moiety is substituted, it may be substituted at any point on themoiety where chemically possible and consistent with atomic valencyrequirements. The moiety may be substituted by one or more substituents,e.g. 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents; optionally there are 1 or 2 substituentson a group.

“Meta” substitution is a substitution pattern where two substituents areon carbons one carbon removed from each other, i.e with a single carbonatom between the substituted carbons. In other words there is asubstituent on the second atom away from the atom with anothersubstituent. For example the groups below are meta substituted.

“Para” substitution is a substitution pattern where two substituents areon carbons two carbons removed from each other, i.e with two carbonatoms between the substituted carbons. In other words there is asubstituent on the third atom away from the atom with anothersubstituent. For example the groups below are para substituted.

By “acyl” is meant an organic radical derived from, for example, anorganic acid by the removal of the hydroxyl group, e.g. a radical havingthe formula R—C(O)—, where R may be selected from H, C₁₋₆ alkyl, C₃₋₈cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl or phenethyl group, eg R is H or C₁₋₃ alkyl.In one embodiment acyl is alkyl-carbonyl.

In embodiments where there is a single enantiomer of the compounds ofthe invention, the compounds of the invention may have an enantiomericpurity of at least about 90% enantiomeric excess (ee), at least about95% enantiomeric excess (ee), at least about 98% enantiomeric excess(ee), at least about 99% enantiomeric excess (ee), or 100% enantiomericexcess (ee). In embodiments where there is a mixture of enantiomers ofthe compounds of the invention, the compounds of the invention may be aracemic mixture or any other mixture of enantiomers, for example thecompounds of the invention may have an enantiomeric purity of at leastabout 50% enantiomeric excess (ee), at least about 60% enantiomericexcess (ee), at least about 70% enantiomeric excess (ee), at least about80% enantiomeric excess (ee), at least about 90% enantiomeric excess(ee), or at least about 95% enantiomeric excess (ee).

Throughout the description the disclosure of a compound also encompassespharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and stereoisomers thereof.Where a compound has a stereocentre, both (R) and (S) stereoisomers arecontemplated by the invention, equally mixtures of stereoisomers or aracemic mixture are completed by the present application. Where acompound of the invention has two or more stereocentres any combinationof (R) and (S) stereoisomers is contemplated. The combination of (R) and(S) stereoisomers may result in a diastereomeric mixture or a singlediastereoisomer.

Where the mixture is a mixture of enantiomers the enantiomericexcess may be any of those disclosed above. Where the compound is asingle stereoisomer the compounds may still contain otherdiasteroisomers or enantiomers as impurities. Hence a singlestereoisomer does not necessarily have an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) ordiastereomeric excess (d.e.) of 100% but could have an e.e. or d.e. ofabout at least 85%
